Frankfurt Show: Light at the End of the Tunnel?
Ferrari sales for the first half of 2009 are only eight percent down on the same period last year, and brand revenues (licensing and retail) are actually up 22.7 percent, so CEO Amedeo Felisa was perhaps justifiably upbeat about the prospects for the new 458 Italia, which arrives in the Uni...

The Quail 2009: A Motorsports Gathering
A Devin is a rare sight any time. Imagine a circle of 8 of them: coupes, roadsters, SSs, racing models, you name it. This is the largest gathering of them I've ever seen. Some of the cars were assembled by Bill Devin himself, others were sold as kits. It all happened in the late 50s and early 6...

St. Antoine Hates the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. And Other Myths.
The firestorm unleashed after the appearance of the February issue, in which I wrote a column (also viewable here) entitled “King Near: What you don’t get for almost $120,000.� The point of the piece was simply to illustrate that, however great the ZR1 is -- and it is, indeed, one of t...

The Lohdown: Drophead Coupes and Caviar Burritos
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind the odd dollop of cream here and there. Our man Scott manages to rustle up some pretty tasty exotics from time to time - Porsche GT3s, Aston Martins, the odd Lamborghini and Ferrari. These don't bring forth the bile and digestive juices as much. That’s bec...

If you've read our recent "War of the Worlds" supercar comparo (ZR1 v 599 v GT2 v GT-R), undoubtedly you noticed some decidedly non-standard graphics on the white-knight Ferrari 599 GTB. Kinda looks like, wait, is that a little blue cartoon police car stuck on there? And what’s that word...

Aston Martin: Could One (-77) Be the Loneliest Number?
That seems huge. Porsche had trouble selling the last Carrera GTs at $440,000. Mercedes has struggled with the SLR, in all its variations, since the beginning. The Ferrari Enzo was an instant sellout, but at less than half this price. And there are no lines at your local Bugatti store for a...
